Stella Artois

I don’t know why this beer is so popular. Belgium has the best beers in the world overall. This is not one of them. It’s basically a Belgian Budweiser, although certainly better than that. It’s a decent beer that’s better for the summer than for the winter. Fans of pilsners will love this one. I’m a stout fan so it’s just not my style. Not a bad beer, but not great either. It’s simply overrated.

pours a clear yellow with a lot of stark white, rapidly dissipating head. Odor of straw and grasses, with just a dash of citrus hops. The taste is predominantly bitter, which ends with a bit of a grassy aftertaste. A nice change from the general macros, but on its own, not a good belgium beer.

This beer has its place, but it’s not my style. Nothing to special here, a beer that falls right in line with other macro light beers.

I just about like anything from Belgium, but most are ales. This is a nicely refreshingbeer. Nose is malt/hop aroma; color appropriate for style; light on the tongue with a bit more body than most pilsners. More hop flavor and aroma would be more what I like. I have no problems drinking it.

Tap: light copper color. Aroma pilsener-ish? Taste: heavy carbonatioin with a dry finish. Light taste and flavor that is hard to pinpoint but nice aftertaste. Not my favorite beer and will most often pass on this but I would take this over bud, bud light and the others any day.

Solita e molesta lager di massa, improbabile non trovarla e non incapparvi almeno una volta nella propria vita. Sapore cerealicolo con estrema dolcezza e sentori metallici; una noia mortale, e con qualche fastidio pure.

Pint at Premier Inn hotel, York. Golden color, disappering white head. Aroma has malt and some hops. Flavor is malty with some sweetness and bitterness. Ok pilsener.

Severely overrated. Similar league to a Labatt Blue or something like that. Very light and dry.
